I'll debate you any time on Catholic theology. But you need to realize that every faith has a political arm. Heck, even the Witches have one! I don't have to agree with their theology, as long as I can get them to coexist peacefully with us. The goal here is to teach democracy, not hatred. Islam can live in a democracy... I know a lot of patriotic (I live in the US) Muslims.

Personally, I think they have some growing to do in this area (I could be mistaken, but that is what I think). But spitting in their face is not the way to bring them into the fold.

We must focus on our goal: eradicating terrorism. We won't eradicate it bey eradicating Islam, any more than we eradicated the KKK by eradicating Southern Democrats. The idea is conversion to a better political model (e.g., Republicanism).

The teachings of the Qu'ran make the Muslim my enemy. Or should I say, makes me the enemy of the Muslim. Either way, I have no interest in dialogue with a professing Muslim.

Uh... I don't think they want to get into the fold. They want to own it. 'The fold' is better off without them.
